How are Lambo Door Kits Installed?

Lambo door kits can be installed by a professional or by the consumer. Usually the vertical door kits are simple enough so a person with average to a little above average knowledge of car mechancs can install the kit himself. A somewhat simplified version of a sample installation is as follows:

  1. You usually start by removing the headlight assembly and side fenders. It is sometimes necessary to remove the front bumper to take the headlights out (a 2004 and newer Mazda 3 is an example of this).
  2. Next you remove the factory stock hinges, and replace those hinges with the ones the kit came with and use the supplied bolts to secure it.
  3. You will then install some sort of hydralic cylinders to the door assembly.
  4. Next you will test and check the vertical door swing height and the horizontal swing and use alan screws to adjust it accordingly.
  5. Now you reconnect the door wires, and make sure everything is securely fastened.
  6. If necessary, you may need to do some custom painting on the door to match the color of the rest of the car.
  7. Lastly, reinstall the side fenders, headlight assembly, and bumper (if necessary).

This is a highly simplified version of a normal installation, but if gives you the general idea. As you can see, if you want to try the installation yourself, you should have a fair amount of mechanical skills.
